Dear John,

A vote on the Build Back Better Act is expected soon in the U.S. Senate!

As you know, the House-passed Build Back Better Act includes critical and long-overdue improvements to Medicare, including:

• Allowing Medicare to directly negotiate with drug companies for lower drug costs (currently forbidden under the law);
• Expanding Medicare to include coverage for hearing aids and examinations;
• $150 billion in new funding for Home and Community-based Services (HCBS); and
• Ensuring that seniors never pay more than $2,000 a year for their drugs under Medicare Part D.

Please help the National Committee get this transformative bill over the finish line in the Senate by signing our Emergency Petition today.

Then I urge you to FOLLOW UP! Call the National Committee’s toll-free Legislative Hotline at (800) 998-0180. The Hotline will connect you directly with your U.S. Senators. Urge them to vote “YES” on the Build Back Better Act which will go a long way to improve and expand access to quality and affordable health care for millions of older Americans.

You cannot afford to sit this one out. We need your voice in this debate. So please, with so much at stake for older adults like you, TAKE ACTION NOW and urge your U.S. Senators to vote “YES” on the Build Back Better Act that will help seniors save money and improve their health.

Sincerely,

Max Richtman
President & CEO
